Google parent Alphabet will be added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average beginning Monday, the index’s operator, S&P Global, said Tuesday. The company represents the fifth of the so-called Magnificent Seven growth stocks to enter the price-weighted index, which has historically been less vulnerable to tech swings than the Nasdaq Composite Index or the S&P 500. “Adding Alphabet will broaden and strengthen the DJIA’s exposure to these dynamic areas of the U.S. economy,” S&P said in a written statement.
Ryan Cohen, the billionaire CEO of GameStop, will not receive a potential performance award from the videogame retailer and plans to unveil more details about his bid to takeover eBay soon, the company said on Tuesday. GameStop unveiled a compensation package worth roughly $35 billion for Cohen in January, hinging on a turnaround that requires him to lift the struggling company's market value more than tenfold and sharply boost its profit. EBay rejected a $56 billion takeover bid from the much smaller GameStop in May, citing financing doubts and calling the proposal "neither credible nor attractive."

Technology companies are spending big to incorporate artificial intelligence into their businesses and to build huge data centers. Investors who had jumped on the bandwagon appear to be having second thoughts.

Saturna Capital Chief Investment Officer Scott Klimo joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the Saturna Global Equity ETF, the principles of Shariah-compliant investing, and how the rapid growth of artificial intelligence is reshaping valuations and opportunities across global markets. Klimo explained that the actively managed ETF applies Islamic investment guidelines that exclude sectors such as conventional banking, insurance, gambling, tobacco, alcohol, and weapons. In addition to those sector screens, the strategy also emphasizes companies with low debt levels, a factor Klimo said can signal strong cash generation, disciplined capital allocation, and durable business models. The conversation also focused on the impact of AI on technology investing. Klimo noted that major technology companies such as Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft are evolving from traditionally asset-light businesses into far more capital-intensive operators as they commit massive sums to AI infrastructure, data centers, and compute capacity. Beyond the large-cap AI leaders, Klimo highlighted a broader group of companies benefiting from the AI buildout, including ASML, Taiwan Semiconductor, Samsung Electronics, and Japan’s Fujikura, all of which play important roles in chip manufacturing, semiconductor equipment, and data-center connectivity. The discussion also touched on the pharmaceutical sector, where Klimo sees long-term value despite recent market weakness. He said healthcare companies can provide portfolio balance and defensive characteristics, even as investors continue to weigh regulatory uncertainty and shifting sentiment toward the sector. Looking at the broader market backdrop, Klimo pointed to continued geopolitical uncertainty, inflation trends, and energy prices as important factors to monitor. At the same time, he said he remains generally constructive on the market outlook, supported by resilient corporate earnings and the long-term productivity gains expected from AI adoption. #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews #SaturnaCapital #ShariahInvesting #ArtificialIntelligence #ETFInvesting #GlobalEquities #TechInvesting #AIInfrastructure #Semiconductors #HealthcareStocks #MarketOutlook
